Awaiting our winter storm in mid March I have opened the 2013 Mark Ryan Winery Long Haul Red Mountain Bordeaux Blend. 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot.
On the nose there are notes of Black Cherry, Blackberry, Black Plum, Graphite, Charcoal, Black Currant, A nice Floral notes and Minerality.
The palate sees Black Cherry, Strawberry, Blackberry, Roasted Green Pepper, All Spice, and a Smokey Oak.
The wine has a medium to full body mouth feel with medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin with just a bit of grip.
A nice wine to start the weekend off right. It just loses that little something I always look for in my Bordeaux Blends. Have a great week and be safe. It looks like mine has a bit of snow in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🖒

DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS WINE. I want it to stay around $50. In love. Medium to full bodied with a treasure chest of dark red fruits, pencil shavings and super subtle oak tones on the nose. Long lean finish with pleasing acidity and fine tannins.
